RECIPE BACKSTORY

Have I mentioned that I love seafood? Oysters is one of my favorite seafoods. My mother-in-law made these fried oysters for me once knowing how much I love them and they were so delicious that I asked for the recipe. I found out later that the reason it tastes so good is because they were fried partially in bacon grease! For those of you that are health concious, you can skip the bacon grease, but let me tell you...once you taste them fried in bacon fat, you can never go back!
